Thrustmaster T.16000M + TWCS Keyfile

@Tobruk np I love helping new pilots get up and running … don’t hesitate to ask if anything doesn’t make sense.
things are a bit of a mess right now, because BMS is undergoing a change from 2 decades where max number of buttons per device was 32… but now many high-end HOTAS devices have more. so the new max is 128 … but that is throwing off the numbering, for lots of community-authored key files.
and there’s no builtin easy-button to “migrate” an old key file from 4.35 or 4.36, to 4.37. anyway…
run Notepad.exe to open up your
\Falcon BMS 4.37\User\Config\Falcon BMS User.cfg
file, and add the following lines.set g_nButtonsPerDevice 32 set g_nHotasPinkyShiftMagnitude 256 set g_nNumOfPOVs 2 set g_nPOV1DeviceID 2 set g_nPOV1ID 0 set g_nPOV2DeviceID 3 set g_nPOV2ID 0
Also, open your
DeviceSorting.txt
file, in that same folder… ensure your stick is line #1 and your throttle is line #2. If you have other devices, they can some after…Now, you have a couple options – either avoid the New Launcher entirely (ie. use the old launcher at ‘\Falcon BMS 4.37\Launcher.exe’ , or just launch BMS yourself at ‘\Falcon BMS 4.37\Bin\x64\Falcon BMS.exe’).
Or continue to enjoy the shiny New Launcher, but you must always click the “launch without overrides” checkbox, before launching.

@airtex2019 . Thanks airtex, I think those lines worked.
I’m so new and not sure when something does appear to work as it should, if it is the game or the settings. For instance, I’m just trying to taxi to the run way and my wheel brake “k” does not appear to work even though it is mapped?? Also, does the ATC respond?? I request permission for taxi, take off and landing and get radio silence. So much to figure out.

@Tobruk yeah I hear you. it takes a while to figure out all settings … in addition to learning to fly the jet!
only reason [K] key wouldn’t work, that I can think of, is if you have toebrake bound to an axis.
look in Setup / Controllers / Advanced to verify all your axes

@airtex2019 You are THE MAN. Thank you.
I added
set g_nButtonsPerDevice 32
set g_nHotasPinkyShiftMagnitude 256to the Falcon BMS User.cfg (additionally to the stuff required but already written in the keyfile “readme” regarding POV), made sure that the Stick was on top in the DeviceSorting.text and started BMS using the “Legacy” Launcher and reloaded the Keyfile.
Seems that all keys were assigned properly.

Thanks, I was experiencing the same issue.

Hi to all,
Hi everyone,
i’m having some trouble getting the profile to work with version 4.37 like others in this forum. I tried them all following the suggestions in this thread but without success.
So I decided to use the new launcher and do the AXIS ASSING and KEYMAPPING directly from there and replicate Orrfen’s profile.
Am I missing something relevant by doing this? Or is the result the same in the end?
A thousand thanks
Paolo
